<p>DES MOINES, Iowa — Texas Tech track coaches spent the past several days worrying about how Shane Brathwaite would hold up at the NCAA outdoor championships with a strained hamstring.</p>
<p>Maybe Brathwaite was the last one they should have worried about.</p>
<p>The senior from Barbados won the first heat of the 110-meter hurdles Thursday at Drake Stadium, clinching a spot in Saturday’s finals. Brathwaite ran a time of 13.52 seconds, though he’s nursing the hamstring he hurt last week working out in Lubbock.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-06-07/brathwaite-wins-make-ncaa-finals" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-06-07/brathwaite-wins-make-ncaa-finals#commentsSports / Red Raiders / TrackFrom staff reportsAndrew RileyAthletics at the UniversiadeBarbadosBarrett NugentcoachDes MoinesDrake StadiumDrake UniversityGil RobertsHuman InterestHuman InterestHurdlingIllinoisIowaJamele MasonLubbock Avalanche-JournalNational records in athleticsNCAAPerson CareerQuotationRunningShane BrathwaiteTaylor EvansTechnologyTechnologyTexasthe NCAAWes KittleyFri, 08 Jun 2012 04:10:40 +0000From staff reports91604 at http://lubbockonline.comTech's Roberts advances from record 400 heathttp://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-06-06/techs-roberts-advances-record-400-heat
<p>DES MOINES, Iowa — Gil Roberts was a part of history, and finishing in third place didn’t even cost the Texas Tech senior.</p>
<p>Florida’s Tony McQuay, Southern Cal’s Josh Mance and Roberts ran the fastest 400-meter heat in NCAA championships history Wednesday at Drake Stadium. In the last of three semifinals, McQuay finished in 44.67 seconds, Mance in 44.83 and Roberts in 44.84 — the three fastest marks ever in a single heat.</p>
<p>“I’ve never seen anything like it in NCAA history,” Tech coach Wes Kittley said. “It was phenomenal.”</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-06-06/techs-roberts-advances-record-400-heat" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-06-06/techs-roberts-advances-record-400-heat#commentsSports / Red Raiders / TrackFrom staff reportsAlbuquerqueCandace JacksoncoachDes MoinesDrake StadiumDrake UniversityErica AlexanderEugeneFloridaGil RobertsIowaJosh ManceLubbock Avalanche-JournalNCAANCAA ChampionshipsNew MexicoOregonPerson CareerQuotationShane BrathwaiteTaylor EvansTechnologyTechnologyTerra EvansTexasthe NCAAthe TimesTony McQuayWes KittleyThu, 07 Jun 2012 04:14:40 +0000From staff reports91477 at http://lubbockonline.comArea college roundup: Tech relays advance to NCAA outdoorhttp://lubbockonline.com/sports-small-college/2012-05-28/area-college-roundup-tech-relays-advance-ncaa-outdoor

<p>AUSTIN — Texas Tech track and field teams ended the NCAA West Preliminary on a high note late Saturday with both the men’s and women’s 1,600-meter relay teams advancing.</p>
<p>The Red Raiders posted the fourth-best qualifying time in the men’s heats and the eighth-best in the women’s. The top 12 in each event secure berths in the NCAA outdoor championships June 6-9 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports-small-college/2012-05-28/area-college-roundup-tech-relays-advance-ncaa-outdoor" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports-small-college/2012-05-28/area-college-roundup-tech-relays-advance-ncaa-outdoor#commentsSports / Red RaidersSports / Small CollegeFrom staff reportsArkansasAustinCompany LocationDes MoinesDrake StadiumGil RobertsHuman InterestHuman InterestIowaIsaiah GillJamele MasonKennedy KithukaLubbock Avalanche-JournalMike A.

<p>AUSTIN — Texas Tech track and field coach Wes Kittley has never hid how much he dislikes the NCAA regional-meet round. A season’s worth of fine performances can be undone by bad luck, injury or not rising to the occasion on one day.</p>
<p>Some of the Red Raiders’ best athletes made it through the NCAA West Preliminary with no problem. Gil Roberts won a round in the 400 meters for the second day in a row Friday, and Jamele Mason easily made it through the semifinals in the men’s 400-meter hurdles. Both clinched spots to the NCAA outdoor championships.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-05-25/tech-track-gets-mixed-results-regional" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-05-25/tech-track-gets-mixed-results-regional#commentsSports / Red Raiders / TrackFrom staff reportsAustinBryce LambCierra WhitecoachDes MoinesDrake StadiumGil RobertsIowaKatie GrimesLubbock Avalanche-JournalPerson CareerShane BrathwaiteTaylor EvansTechnologyTechnologyTexasthe NCAAWes KittleySat, 26 May 2012 04:52:40 +0000From staff reports89836 at http://lubbockonline.comBrathwaite follows tradition of top hurdlershttp://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-05-23/brathwaite-follows-tradition-top-hurdlers
<p>Not that long ago, Texas Tech owned the best 110-meter hurdlers in the Big 12 Conference with Marlon Odom, Shawon Harris and Omo Osaghae winning league titles in the event six times in seven years. The Tech hurdles lineage hardly ended when Osaghae finished his eligibility last year.</p>
<p>If Shane Brathwaite runs to match his ranking over the next month, the senior from Barbados will achieve all-America status, too. Brathwaite’s best time this season of 13.43 seconds ranks sixth in the NCAA going into the postseason.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-05-23/brathwaite-follows-tradition-top-hurdlers" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2012-05-23/brathwaite-follows-tradition-top-hurdlers#commentsSports / Red Raiders / TrackDon Williams110 metre hurdlesAmericaAndrew RileyAustinBarbadosBarrett NugentBig 12 ConferenceBraithwaiteBridgetownCaribbeanCaribbean islandDes MoinesDrake StadiumGUANAJUATOHuman InterestHuman InterestHurdlersIllinoisIowaKansasMarlon OdomMexicoNCAAOmo OsaghaePerson CareerPerson CommunicationPerson TravelQuotationRyan BrathwaiteShane BrathwaiteShawon HarrisTexasthe NCAAWes KittleyThu, 24 May 2012 04:36:03 +0000Don Williams89580 at http://lubbockonline.comTexas Tech sophomore Wruck wins NCAA title with big throw in discushttp://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2011-06-08/texas-tech-sophomore-wruck-wins-ncaa-title-big-throw-discus
<p>DES MOINES, Iowa - Small braids stuck out from the back of Julian Wruck's head. Some of his dark brown hair was died red.</p>
<p>"It makes me feel different," the Texas Tech sophomore said. "If I feel unique, I feel as though I can give a good performance."</p>
<p>And what a performance it was.</p>
<p>Wruck won the discus at the NCAA outdoor track meet at Drake Stadium on Wednesday evening.</p>
<p>Wruck's winning toss of 202 feet, 9 inches came on the second of his six throws.</p>
<p>BYU senior Leif Arrhenius was second with a 201-3. Kansas sophomore Mason Finley was third with a 197-4.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2011-06-08/texas-tech-sophomore-wruck-wins-ncaa-title-big-throw-discus" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-track/2011-06-08/texas-tech-sophomore-wruck-wins-ncaa-title-big-throw-discus#commentsSports / Red Raiders / TrackCandace JacksonDes MoinesDrake StadiumHeadIowaJulian WruckKansasLeif ArrheniusMason FinleyNCAA titleQuotationSocial IssuesSocial IssuesTexasthe NCAAThu, 09 Jun 2011 03:59:04 +0000Staff49645 at http://lubbockonline.com
